After time to reflect, Covid became a useful time for Inquiring Science - we've become Inquiring Learners, created a website, digitised our resources and developing more. We hope you still want to follow us!

It's really great to see children so engaged with the Inquiring Science. We're so pleased that our resources have inspired so much discussion.

[SJCS Cambridge @SJCS_Cambridge]

F1 were engaged, insightful & creative when they responded to @InquiringScien1 cross-curricular science-based philosophy. Lots of cross-curricular themes emerged from the sessions with F1 able to empathise & debate a particular point of view with passion & conviction.

Just had an inspiring morning observing our Inquiring Science resources being ‘road tested’ at St Johns College School. Teachers loving cross-curricular themes that emerge and the children were, as ever, insightful and creative. @SJCS_Cambridge @LSKerslake @InquiringScien1
